Stunning MS68 Full Bands 1916 Mercury Dime

1916 10C MS68 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. The Weinman Winged
Liberty (or "Mercury") dime made its debut in 1916. The
Philadelphia issue saw a mintage of more than 22 million pieces,
and many were saved as the first of their kind. Even with a high
savings rate, though, only a handful of coins are known with both
the impressive preservation needed for an MS68 grade and the bold
strike required for a Full Bands designation. This beautiful
example has both. Minimally toned surfaces sport shining cartwheel
luster and fine frosty accents. Population: 8 in 68 Full Bands, 0
finer (6/10).From The Joshua II Collection of Mercury Dimes, #1 All-Time
Finest PCGS Registry Set.(Registry
values: N2998) (NGC ID# 23GX, PCGS# 4905)
